General Orders, ) HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY, 

>• ADJUTANT GENERAL’S OFFICE, 

No. 77. ) Washington, D. C., November 21,1892. 

y 

By direction of the Secretary of War, and under the requirement 
of Par. 1268, Army Regulations, the following tables of land- 
grant and bond-aided railroads, containing references to all legis¬ 
lation aifecting such roads to July 1, 1892, are published for the 
information of the Army, and will supersede G. O. 89, A. G. 0., 
1885. 

These tables show the names of such railroads, termini, mileage, 
the compensation accruing to each for services performed in trans¬ 
porting United States troops and property, the places of prepara¬ 
tion of their accounts by the Quartermaster’s Department, with 
such explanatory remarks as appear pertinent. A compendium 
of the United States laws relating to such railroads, showing 
dates of the laws, volumes and pages of statutes, and conditions 
of the grants or subsidies so far as they relate to the use of the 
roads by the United States, is also published with the tables. 

The accounts of the land-grant railroads to which payment may 
be made, being payable in cash under the decision of the Attorney 
General of March 27, 1889 (see G. O. 40, A. G. O., 1889), officers of 
the Quartermaster’s Department stationed at the points desig¬ 
nated for the purpose, will state and pay such accounts upon the 
forms provided for the purpose (Par, 1269, A. R.) 

The accounts of the bond-aided Union Pacific and Central 
Pacific railroads will be prepared separately trom all other ac¬ 
counts, the former at Omaha, Nebraska, the latter at San Fran¬ 
cisco, California, under instructions of the Quartermaster General, 
and transmitted to his office for settlement through the account¬ 
ing officers of the Treasury. 

Where a mileage basis governs in the statement and settlement 
of these accounts the distances named in accompanying table will 
govern, and in the absence of specific designation in the order, of 
the distances between any points, the distance given in the 
Travelers’ Official Railway Guide will govern. If railroad com¬ 
panies refuse to state the proportions agreed upon, the amounts 
due will be apportioned upon a mileage basis by way of the route 
traveled. (See G. O. 71, A. G. O., 1889, for decision of Second 
Comptroller). 



* > 
•t > J 


o 


Bills of lading and transportation requests for service over the 
bond-aided roads will be issued separately, and not include ser¬ 
vice beyond the termini of such bond-aided roads. Separate 
requests will be issued for service over the Union Pacific and 
Central Pacific railroads respectively. 

Transportation should be provided to ultimate destination on 
through requests and bills of lading, where practicable. But the 
issue of separate bills of lading or transportation requests for 
through journey, by the Quartermaster's Department is to be 
understood as being distinctly, and only, for the convenience of 
the railroad companies in the settlement of their accounts, and 
will in no case commit the United States to payment of local rates 
for any portion of through transportation. The points of original 
departure and ultimate destination should be clearly stated on all 
bills of lading and transportation requests, in order to facilitate 
settlements on the basis of the division, among the roads inter¬ 
ested, of the through limited rate for the entire journey. As a 
rule, but one transportation request or bill of lading is required 
for through travel east of Chicago or St. Louis. 

The Quartermaster General is changed, under Par. 1270 of the 
Regulations, with the general supervision of all matters pertain¬ 
ing to service for the Quartermaster’s Department over the land- 
grant and bond-aided railroads and accounts therefor. 

As an aid to a clear and convenient understanding of the 
routes, termini, etc., of the several railroads to which this order 
refers, and as a matter of ready reference, when the use of these 
roads is involved in the issue of transportation, a map of the 
land-grant and bond-aided roads is published herewith. .

Explanatory Remarks. 


A choice of routes may he exercised in 
issuing transportation between Chicago 
and either St. Paul, Council Bluffs, or 
Kansas City, as all roads have adopted 
a military rate therefor, not to exceed 
cost by route having the longest land- 
grant proportion. 

The United States is not barred from the 
use of any lower rate which these roads 
may, from time to time offer the gener¬ 
al public, upon which also the proper 
land-grant deductions will apply. 

Note.— Distance from 12.3 miles south of 
Warrens to Hudson, Win., 156.9 miles; 
from Stillwater Junction to St. Paul, 
Minn., 15.7 miles. 


This railroad company uses the track of 
the Iowa Division of the Illinois Cen¬ 
tral Railroad, land-grant, -between Le 
Mars and Sioux City, 26.38 miles.
